    ding - 2004-04-14

    on my site, (http://www.dingfelder.org)  I added some new family members.  I saw my data once I entered it but noticed that when I logged in later, I can not see it.

    I then tried to add the members again and then they showed up as duplicates :(  so I deleted the new one to get rid of the dup.

    When tried to see the data from another browser, it is not there :(

    Is there some kind of caching or approval process that I am not aware of ?

    If you look at my site and search for emily dingfelder, she is one of the ones I added that isn't displaying for me.

    Whats going on ?

      You know.  This has been happening to me too.  Edits will get approved, then show up as pending, or other weird behavior like that. I logged on earlier this week and found that suddenly some old edits of my dad's and mine were again pending approval.   I check the user log, and nobody had logged in meanwhile.  Mysterious.

          never mind, I see the link at the bottom of the page now.

          I think the process of re-importing the gedcom file is a bit cumbersome... 

          I think a better process would have the records to be modified and flagged in the db... and you could approve them directly (singily or in bulk) from an admin screen accessing the db.

      If they are automatically added to the DB, then they will also automatically become public.

      The way the editing works is that the original gedcom file is modified with the new data while the old data remains in the indexes or the database.

      Yes, reimporting is a bit cumbersome.  It was necessary due to the way the import process worked in version 2.x since much of the data in teh database was calculated at import time.  But, with the new import process of version 3.0 we can work towards updating the records in the DB without reimporting the entire gedcom.
